A very practical tutorial on turning waste into treasure, using knitted sweaters that are not worn. Generally, girls who like to buy clothes must have a lot of knitted sweaters in their wardrobe that they no longer want to wear, but are still used. The knitted sweaters I bought when I was young can only be worn for one season. The next time I wear knitted sweaters, I don’t want to wear them anymore. The only way is to renovate them and use them for handicrafts. In this tutorial on turning waste into treasure, I show how to make two different linings. The first one uses solid color non-woven fabric, and the second one uses printed cotton fabric. The results are quite beautiful.

Main material: Unworn sweaters, leather bag handles, needlework, linings, a length of shiny silk ribbon, Tools required: Scissors, Production steps:
